«大道至简»
Laozi
Laozi (老子) (6th century BC), also spelt as Lao Tzu or Lao-tseu, and known in China as 太上老君 (Tàishàng lǎojūn, or "Supreme Lord Lao"), is an ancient philosopher, poet and author of the Tao Te Ching. His real name might be 'Li Er' or 'Lao Dan', as Laozi literally means "Old Master". He is the founder of Taoism (philosophy of 道).
Serving as the royal archivist for the Zhou court at Wangcheng (modern Luoyang), he met and apparently impressed Confucius (whose historical existence is not debated, unlike that of Laozi), composing the Tao Te Ching in a single session before retiring into the western wilderness. That's what one can call a full strike.
A good version of the Tao Te Ching is that of Bill Porter [1].
I sometimes mention him in my talks, e.g., From classical to quantum optics (西湖大学-量子力学百年纪念活动) in Hanghzou.
